| 7.5.2 | Writing a valid IOS command sequence to monitor IPX routing tables

The show ipx route command displays the contents of the IPX routing table. In the example, the first highlighted line provides routing information for a remote network: The R represents the information was learned from a RIP update. The network is number 3030. The network is located six ticks or one hop away. (This information is used to determine best routes. If there is a tie between ticks, hops are used to break the tie.) The next hop in the path is router 3021.0000.0c03.13d3. The information was updated 23 seconds ago. The next-hop router is reachable out interface Serial1. There is an equal-metric route to a different next-hop router, reachable through interface Serial 0 (for load sharing). The second line of highlighting provides information about a direct connection: The network number is 3010. The encapsulation type is NOVELL-ETHER. The C represents the information was learned from a directly connected primary network. The information in the table describes the fields.
